Friday brought 75 - 100 mm of snow. The garden is completely covered under a blanket of it. It looks amazing. Underneath the snow there are garlic shoots coming up from the perennial garlic and Babbington leeks. Even the cardoon is coming up. I'm not sure what they will make of the snow.

I've been working on the front garden recently. I've got some established oregano and lavender and some sea buckthorn. The garden gets a lot of sun so I've got five blackcurrant bushes. I just ordered a final one to fill in the last space. I chose a Ben Connan to complement the others (Ben Tirran, Ben Sarek and Ebony). It will have to wait until the snow melts before I can plant it.
